Chapter 366: Chapter 364: Abnormal Beast Taming l
After gaining some understanding of the ten plus four-grade baby beasts, Lu Xuan began his beast taming journey.
“All of you are descendants of fourth-grade demon beasts. I suppose I don’t need to elaborate on your spiritual intelligence. You should all be able to understand the meaning of my words.”
He swept his gaze over all the baby beasts, his eyes pausing momentarily on the airborne Lion Bird Beast.
“Let’s start with a simple endurance training.”
As Lu Xuan spoke, spiritual power surged within his body. The rocks on the hall floor churned, and in an instant, over ten stone chambers appeared.
The stone chambers were over twenty feet in length and width, not very high, and appeared extremely crude.
“Each beast will receive one stone chamber. You are to stay inside for four hours, do not act impulsively. If you leave before the set time, there will be varying degrees of punishment.”
“This includes, but is not limited to, reducing food supply, confinement, corporal punishment.”
As soon as his words fell, the baby beasts began to select a stone chamber, each one occupying a chamber firmly.
The Lion Bird Beast was the last to choose. After being warned by the baby beast inside the already occupied chamber, it continued to search from one chamber to another until it finally found an unoccupied chamber.
All the baby beasts were quiet, staying within the boundaries set by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took out a book from his storage bag, and above the stone chamber’s roof, a pair of gray-white eyes silently appeared. A crack appeared in the palm of his hand, allowing him to keep an eye on the baby beasts’ conditions.
After these baby beasts are tamed, they are mostly used to guard the various key areas within the Sect. They often stay in a certain area for a long period of time.
As demon beasts are simple-minded and impatient, it’s necessary to properly tame their endurance.
“It’s a bit like a teacher on the stage, seeming oblivious to whatever happened below, but actually understands everything clearly.”
Looking at the eyes split from the Void Nightmare Eye in his palm, Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Demon beasts are, after all, demon beasts. Although they were raised within the Sect in a peaceful and unchanging environment and possess high spiritual intelligence, they still have quite a lot of beastly instincts within them.
At the beginning, they could remain calm, but as time went on, they started to become restless.
One by one, they were fidgeting anxiously within the area designated by Lu Xuan, low growls and roars sporadically escaping their mouths.
Even two baby beasts tried to cross over the short stone wall, but as soon as they walked near it, what little reason they had left caused them to retreat back to their original position.
“Still, the performance of three of the baby beasts was quite good.”
Lu Xuan noted the small actions of the baby beasts in the hall, expressing his admiration.
The three baby beasts were the Black Horned Spirit Rhinoceros, the Lion Bird Beast and the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon.
The Black Horned Spirit Rhinoceros appeared incredibly patient, peacefully staying within the designated area with a calm, relaxed demeanor.
The Lion Bird Beast was also well-behaved, only its eyes seemed vacant, appearing somewhat foolish.
“Huh?”
Lu Xuan’s gaze swept over the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon, which was behaving obediently on the ground and appeared to be performing exceptionally well.
Having cultivated the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique for a long time, Lu Xuan detected a sense of unease.
A layer of spiritual power appeared on the surface of his pupils, and the stone chamber where the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon was located broke like a bubble, revealing its true scene.
The Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon was leisurely walking around inside its stone chamber, occasionally jumping over the short stone wall into the area of other baby beasts.
Its movements were minimal and covered by illusion technique, so in Lu Xuan’s line of sight, it appeared to be inside its own stone chamber all along. “You crafty thing, using illusion technique to cover your tracks!”
“Pity for you, try as one might, there’s always someone better, and now I’ve caught you red-handed.”
The Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon seemed to sense something and turned its head to meet Lu Xuan’s gaze, his eyes surging with spiritual power.
Knowing that its misdeeds had been discovered by Lu Xuan, it guiltily buried its tiny head in its colorful feathers.
Soon, four hours had passed.
Lu Xuan stretched out, floating up to the sky above the stone chambers.
“Alright, time’s up, you can come out now.”
“Roar!”
As soon as his words fell, various roars echoed out, and like a reprieve, the baby beasts rushed out of their stone chambers in a frenzy.
A gust of wind blew by, and Lu Xuan’s sight was filled with blinding white. Countless bolts of lightning flashed, and when his vision recovered, he saw the four-winged thunder tiger floating in mid-air, its deeply-purple eyes fixated on him.
While steadily growling, the silver-white thunder tiger’s body was filled with flashes of lightning, showcasing its ability,
In an instant, it flew to Lu Xuan’s other side like teleportation, baring its teeth and appeared to be threatening Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan remained unfazed, assessing how the baby beasts had performed.
Suddenly, he paused his actions, noticing that the Lion Bird Beast was still staying obediently inside its stone chamber.
Lu Xuan helplessly flew over to the Lion Bird Beast, gently patting its formidable lion head, he softly said,
“It’s okay, the endurance training is over. You did an excellent job today, catching me by surprise.”
He knew that the seemingly fierce baby beast in front of him, in reality, had an inferiority complex that didn’t match its outward appearance. But given that it performed well, he wasn’t stingy in his praise.
The Lion Bird Beast moved closer to Lu Xuan’s hand, letting out soft whimpers. Lu Xuan could feel a strong sense of joy from deep within its heart.
After letting the baby beasts roam freely for a while, he activated the Illusory Spirit Flute, summoning them over.
“Next, I’m going to impart some Cultivation commands to you, so you can understand the various instructions expressed by the Sect monks.”

Even though the baby beasts had high spiritual intelligence, they still needed to learn. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Lu Xuan began to impart what the spirit beasts needed to understand and follow such as instructions for care, patrol, transport, attack, defense, etc.
During this time, the vast majority of the baby beasts could understand Lu Xuan’s intentions quite well, understanding completely after two or three repetitions at most.
The Lion Bird Beast was the only exception. At first, it could barely understand the meaning of Lu Xuan’s words, but as more information was imparted, it seemed as if its brain gradually couldn’t keep up, and it floated bewilderedly in mid-air.
It looked at its peers who quickly understood and remembered, a trace of dullness flickering in its eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll come over and give you additional lessons when there’s time.”
Just as it was losing more and more confidence, a gentle voice echoed in its ears.
It looked up to see Lu Xuan’s clear and bright eyes gazing over.
The teaching ended quickly. Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, he had a sudden premonition and halted, with a ray of lightning shooting past him, hitting a distant wall and igniting numerous miniature electric arcs.
Lu Xuan followed the direction of the light and saw the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger staring intently at him, with even more electricity coursing over its body as Lu Xuan looked over.
Then, its broad wings lightly flapped and its body transformed into a ray of silver light disappearing from in front of Lu Xuan.
“This Four-Winged Thunder Tiger sure is crafty.”
Thinking of the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger’s actions throughout the day and the information he had gathered from his caretaking period, a hint of a smile flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“Looks like it’ll be difficult to tame it with common tactics. I’ll need to pump in some extra effort.”
